Serbian police arrested Mujanovic at a border crossing between Bosnia and Serbia for alleged war crimes against Serb civilians in Sarajevo, the Bosnian embassy in Belgrade told BIRN on Tuesday.

Miroslav Kojic, a councillor at the Bosnian embassy, said that the embassy was informed by the police that Mujanovic was arrested on Monday and was placed in custody after 10pm the same day.

“We were notified via a phone call that he was arrested on a Serbian warrant for crimes against civilians in the areas of Hrasnica and Sokolovic Kolonija in Sarajevo,” Kojic said.

Serbian media have described Mujanovic as a commander of a detention camp in the Sarajevo neighbourhood of Hrasnica, but this could not be independently verified.
